Manual Integrator Supercal 531 06-06-2011 49
8. Start-up and Applications
As already mentioned in 2.5, the installation of a heat metering point may only be carried out by
authorized personnel and the directives of installation as well as the local rules have to be taken
into account.
The same applies for the start-up of the metering point where an expert has to check its proper
functioning. After execution of this function check, the Supercal 531 has to be provided with seals.
8.1 Start-up of the Supercal 531
8.1.1 Backup battery
The backup battery in the measuring- and calibration-relevant integrator upper part serves as cur-
rent supply for date and time in case it is disconnected from the base part of the integrator (e.g.
recalibration, replacement or service).
On request, the backup battery in its original packaging can be protected against premature dis-
charge by applying a protective film. Remove the protective film carefully if you want to activate the
battery.
ATTENTION: The protective film cannot be reapplied after removal!
The service life of the battery in activated state and without external power supply is up to 130‘000
minutes (approx. 3 months) depending on the operating and ambient conditions.
When replacing the battery, the calibration seal is damaged! Therefore, only personnel au-
thorized and trained by Sontex may carry out the replacement.
In case of improper handling, the warranty of Sontex is void!
If the integrator upper part is removed, the LCD display indicates the total operating time of the
backup battery in minutes.
Thus, the service engineer is able to decide whether the battery has to be replaced or not. After
replacement of the battery, we recommend to reset the battery hour meter to zero with the soft-
ware „Prog 531“.
